Mayonaka no Oyatsu
So cuuuuuute!! I really loved this manga. Seme was ADORABLE when he was a kid. He was so cute with the uke. How he blushed, got jealous/possessive, couldn't sleep next to him, got SUPER protective when he was in danger, worried about him. Gaaaah! He was just so cool! I'm so glad his personality didn't drastically change when he got older like in some other cases, like becoming really stoic or TOO mature. After the time-skip, you could still tell he was that same sweet kid who wanted the uke to see him as a man. And I LOVED how the seme didn't try to rape the uke upon their reunion. I feel like that happens too much in yaoi. This was WAY better: "I've always been in love with you.....I'm definitely going to make you fall for me." As it should be! And I loved, LOVED how it was revealed that he remained faithful to the uke for 4 years, despite being really good looking and most likely popular (and them not being in an actual relationship yet). He could've totally fooled around (and a lot of seme's would've) but he didn't! "I'm 100% devoted...to YOU." Taira might be my Ultimate Golden Seme!!! I really liked the uke, too. He was cute, goofy, but still had a certain air of maturity about him. He didn't immediately let the seme "push him around", for a lack of better words. I feel like the uke will still be the more mature one in the relationship, which I'm happy about. Sometimes in yaoi they make the younger seme more mature than the older uke and I don't always like that. 3 things I didn't love, but they didn't change my feelings about the manga too much: 1.) In the last chapter, the sex scene felt a bit rushed (as in they did it too soon) and ALMOST ended up looking kinda like rape. The uke was mostly compliant in the beginning and fully consented before they actually went all the way. Still, I would've preferred it happen a little differently, but oh well. 2.) While the whole incest thing was a little weird, I guess it could've been worse. I mean, better uncle/nephew, than father/son, or brother/brother. I think those last 2 pairings would definitely creep me out. I don't think I'm really into that stuff. This is my first incest manga. So yeah, it might've been better if they weren't related by blood...on the other hand, I can see the allure of forbidden love. It did make it a bit more exciting. Hmm, I guess the jury is still out when it comes to LIGHT incest. I think siblings or a parent would really bother me, though. But step or adopted I've always been pretty okay with. 3.) I wished it had more chapters. I think the "getting together" could've dragged out more, just for realism and some more cute drama. The uke seemed to switch over too quick, even though that itself took like 3 chapters in this 4 chapter manga. But it felt like the uke's feelings needed more development, it almost didn't feel completely genuine or at least not on the same level as the seme's feelings. The longer it would take, would make it that much sweeter and feel more real. And then I would've liked to see them dealing with their relationship. Seriously, I think this could've been at least a 20 chapter manga, if not more. There's so much to work with and the couple is just so freakin' cute!!! All in all, this was a sweet story that made me laugh. And swoon from all the adorably cute moments. Will definitely read again sometime. And I'll be checking out this author's other stuff. It was so good. Sweetest-Seme List Favorite Uke List 1st? Reread: April 2020 So cuuuuuute!! I really loved this manga.

1st Reread: April 2020 Aww, soo cute! Loved both pairings, but the first one more. Wish it continued!

Sweetest-Seme List 2nd? Reread: April 2020 Main story: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!! It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!! Can't remember the last time I laughed and wanted to squeal so much. Super adorable! Seme is awesome. He's not only NICE to his uke, he's actually CONSIDERATE to his feelings. Plus a lot of the manga is from his POV and he completely gushes over the uke being so unbearably cute. I never knew such a sweet yaoi even existed! But I feel like it ended too abruptly. Maybe because I thought it was going to have 19 chapters and it only had 14.6. I want more Saki-san & Jun!
Monster Petite Panic
Sweetest-Seme List 1st Reread: April 2020 Cute, fun and interesting story, but too short! Seme is pretty cute. Totally in love with the uke and tries to win his affections.

Seven Days
1st Re-read: Apr. 2021 (changed score from 7 to 10) Wow, that was so heartwarming! Don't know why I gave it a 7 first time. (maybe the translation wasn't good? I read the official 2nd time) Maybe because I didn't like Seryo having a complicated relationship with his ex/brother's fiancee? But I think that made him falling in love with Yuzuru that much sweeter. <3 Loved all their moments together. And their "falling in love" was nicely told. The art seemed really well done, and both MCs were very attractive. It had such a great ending, and both said "I love you"! That doesn't always happen. Plus there was lots of sweet kisses throughout. :P This should TOTALLY get an anime adaption. And maybe it will one day, with more BLs seeming to get anime. This one seems fairly popular, too. The thing I sometimes don't like about Shoenen Ai is that I can't always figure out who's the Seme/Uke. Same with this. I'd say it's Seryo, cause he's taller and kinda has that vibe. But Yuzuru seems more bossy, and people have said that Seryo is a masochist? Hmm...
